1 Samuel 15:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 15:5

And Saul came to a city of Amalek
With his army, perhaps the nearest city of it to the land of Israel; though some think that Amalek was the name of the city, and was the metropolis of the nation, and had its name from thence: and laid wait in the valley; which was near the city, to intercept the inhabitants when they should come out against him: or "he contended" F23 as some render it, he fought with them there; the Targum,

``he ordered his army,''

set them in battle array, or pitched his camp there.

1 Samuel 15:5 In-Context

3 "Ve ahora, y ataca a Amalec, y destruye por completo todo lo que tiene, y no te apiades de él; antes bien, da muerte tanto a hombres como a mujeres, a niños como a niños de pecho, a bueyes como a ovejas, a camellos como a asnos."
4 Entonces Saúl convocó al pueblo, y los contó en Telaim: doscientos mil soldados de a pie, y diez mil hombres de Judá.
5 Saúl fue a la ciudad de Amalec y se emboscó en el valle.
6 Y dijo Saúl a los ceneos: Idos, apartaos, descended de entre los amalecitas, para que no os destruya con ellos; porque vosotros mostrasteis misericordia a todos los hijos de Israel cuando subían de Egipto. Y los ceneos se apartaron de entre los amalecitas.
7 Saúl derrotó a los amalecitas desde Havila en dirección a Shur, que está al oriente de Egipto.
